Visit the Ecovillage

Narara Ecovillage is located at 33 Gugandi Rd, Narara. We host monthly open days to welcome visitors and share about our amazing project. In addition, you can visit our cafe (open Tues-Sat) or join us at our regular workshops, activities and working bees (numbers limited).

Open Days


Our Open Day Tours give you a window into what Narara Ecovillage is all about, and show how we are putting our ideas around ecological, social and economic into action, including stops at:

  • shared food growing, natural retreats and Permaculture spaces
  • shared community and work places
  • examples of highly efficient low-carbon homes

And more based on what you're interested in on the day!

If it's a Saturday, our fabulous Coffee Cart will be open, selling great drinks and healthy food. (Sorry closed Sundays.) Come prepared for all weather and walking on a rural property. Kids are always welcome. However please leave your pets at home.
